At this point your limit is you, not the bike, do what feels comfortable to you. Dont try and lean really low into turns to look cool, get low when you have to.

Re: determing how far u can go
thats not a question possible to answer w/o all the variables and even then your SKILL and speed will remain unknowns.
what is the condition of the road?
what are the quality of your tires?
get some leathers and hit up a track day. its the best and safest way to learn your limits.. or at least approach them.

Re: determing how far u can go
couldn't have said it better myself. the main thing that'll help you is smoothness. jerky actions at any kind of lean will upset the chassis, and you won't be able to go as fast/lean as much. you have to be smooth before you can be fast...
if you just want to know how far it's POSSIBLE to lean....check out the motogp guys dragging thier ELBOWS in some turns.

Re: determing how far u can go
i read a article last year that john hopkins was the first moto gp rider to drag an elbow in quite a number of years... but ben spies, aaron yates, and eric bostrom still do it pretty often in AMA competition, the baddest picture i've seen is Aaron yates, turn 4 on VIR two years ago, dragging his knee, elbow, and butt
